PVU GCE Portfolio

This is the first unit in Rapid Prototyping. We learned about distance formula, and networks. We had to create letter on our CNC Cameo silhouette machines. We also used and drew them by hand. One of the hardest things for me in this project was cutting the letter out by hand. I’m not the most gifted person in arts and crafts. I practiced cutting letters out a couple of times before I got it right.

This is the first Action project for the winter term electives, Biomimicry. In the first unit, we learned about nature and how the Fibonacci sequence is involved in nature. This AP1 is a design something that solves a problem by using plant. By using the Aloe Vera plant I was able to incorporate a principle that I got from the aloe plant. One of the hardest parts of this AP1 was to find ideas. I talked with friends and my instructor AMD on my ideas and narrowed it down to my dog bowl. I thought I put a lot of effort in my drawings. Drawings are definitely not a strength for me. I practiced drawing the plants, so that I can draw the aloe vera plant and idea perfectly. This is my project, go check it out!
